Bleeding Gums Can Kill More Than Your Smile
Contrary to what you have been told, bleeding gums are not normal and shouldn't be ingnored. Would you be concerned if your hands bleed everytime you wash them? Your gums are no different.
Bleeding that occurs when you floss, brush, or eat is usually caused by a bacterial infection and represents one of the first symptoms of gum disease (Periodontal Disease). Researchers are finding links between periodontal infection and other diseases of the human body. Heart Disease, Diabetes, Respiratory Disease, Osteoporosis, Artificial Joints, and Pregnancy complications seem to be connected to your oral health. The current theory is that bacteria present in infected gums breaks loose, travels threw your bloodstream, and attaches itself to your heart or other body parts. A recent study found 85% of heart-attack patients have periodontal disease, making this connection higher than a relationship between high cholesterol ane heart attacks.
Over 80% of adults have gum disease. Smoking, excessive alcohol, diet, and poor oral hygiene can contribute to the on set and progression of the disease, but genetics seem to play a significant role. If there is a history of gum disease or premature tooth loss with your parents or siblings your chance of having this disease is extremely high.
Our hygienist are top of there class, and have many years of experiance and have been highly trained from LVI in using a laser during your visit. Its not "just a cleaning anymore". You should see your hygienist 3 to 4 times a year for your periodontal maintenance and screening. Gum disease is serious and should be taken seriously.

Headaches and TMJ
Did you know migraine headaches can be caused by TMJ issues? A misaligned jaw can be the reason for many pains and discomforts.
Normally, you would not think of taking your migraine headache issues to a dentist. Most people go to the doctor and get medication if the need persists. Or, they just live with it and ride out the headaches. It takes some research, a heads-up referral, and often a lot of frustration before some migraine sufferers finally seek out a neuromusclar dentist.
Misaligned jaws can cause a number of issues beyond simple jaw popping and pain. This is how most people know TMJ, so to connect TMJ with migraines may seem a difficult jump to make. In layman's terms, the muscles and nerves that surround the jaw area are affected when the bite it not right. A misaligned bite may cause localized pain at the jaw but the effects radiate out to nearby areas. Naturally, this can cause severe headaches and even migraines. I specialize in Neuromuscular Dentistry, so if you or someone you know has migraines, why not ask them to call my office for a TMJ test that will let them know if I can help their migraine problem. Better to treat the cause for a lifetime, than to continue to treat the symptoms for the moment with medications that may not always work. Call Today 562-496-3230
